Celebrity Status[edit]

Brennen-Jobs, as the daughter of Steve Jobs, is a celebrity who has been portrayed in multiple films and TV episodes. Consequently the public interest in her justifies the wiki entry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jdkag (talk • contribs) 08:37, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

As of July 4, 2015 the article also received 42718 views within the previous 30 days. It is short but is notable enough to keep.

In addition, numerous Wikipedia articles link to this one.

Blatant advert[edit]

'Perla Haney-Jardine, Ripley Sobo, and Makenzie Moss will portray Brennan-Jobs at different ages in director Danny Boyle's upcoming 2015 film, Steve Jobs. Screenwriter Aaron Sorkin notes that he discussed the screenplay with Brennan-Jobs in advance and that she is the "heroine of the film."[1]'

If putting the above in the opening paragraph isn't a blatant plug for an actress, a director, a screenwriter and a film, I don't know what is!

It is self-publicising manipulation like this that destroys Wikipedia's credibility as an encyclopaedia in so many media-related articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.130.99.129 (talk) 10:59, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Upcoming book[edit]

She has an upcoming book that seems like it should be included (and arguably is notable enough to have an entry itself). A couple articles about the announcement:

 - http://fortune.com/2018/03/16/steve-jobs-daughter-is-writing-a-memoir/
 - http://www.businessinsider.com/lisa-brennan-jobs-writing-small-fry-2018-3

And a couple pre-publication reviews of the book itself:

 - https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/lisa-brennan-jobs/small-fry-brennan-jobs/
 - https://www.publishersweekly.com/9780802128232

I'm conflicted so shouldn't add the book myself but I feel like someone should.

I think that's fair, and is notable. I'll add it! - Alison ^❤ 23:09, 14 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Abuse by father?[edit]

It seems the article omits the comprehensive abuse she endured by Steve Jobs. 83.185.93.134 (talk) 12:10, 23 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The article includes Lisa's perception of Jobs as often cold and distrustful, and the pain this caused her. In her memoir SMALL FRY, she never accuses him of physical abuse. This suggests that he was not guilty of it. She also perceptively examines his periods of dismissiveness and cheapness toward her mother and even herself. Because of his financial status, he was suspicious of people's motives toward him. She writes that Jobs was determined not to be prey to people who cared nothing for him personally, but were greedily absorbed in what he could do for them or give them.He did not want to be taken advantage of, or made a fool by predators. He over-reacted by being extremely cautious even toward those who had a serious claim on his support, like Lisa's mother. In time he became more generous, as he understood their legitimate claims, and their affection. Lisa makes it clear in the memoir that she loved her father. Late in his life, he told her that the years she lived with him and his wife were his happiest.
